It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-6769 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6769/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6769","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qmr2-j5m9-cq3m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Windows","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can elevate privileges from medium to high integrity without a UAC prompt via DLL hijacking and activation cache poisoning.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Fortra","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"},{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"A DLL Hijacking caused by drive remapping combined with a poisoning of the activation cache in Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022 allows a malicious authenticated attacker to elevate from a medium integrity process to a high integrity process without the intervention of a UAC prompt.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-08-29","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":79,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2024-08-29T16:40:49Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/fortra/CVE-2024-6769","stars":79,"title":"Activation cache poisoning to elevate from medium to high integrity (CVE-2024-6769)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Medium to High Integrity Privilege Escalation in Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2024-6769","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in VPSUForm – Drag \u0026 Drop Contact Form Builder with Email Automation","id":"CVE-2024-6770"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of Service in CLFS.sys","id":"CVE-2024-6768"},"products":["Windows 10","Windows 11","Windows Server 2016","Windows Server 2019","Windows Server 2022"],"published":"2024-09-26","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-29","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can elevate privileges from medium to high integrity without a UAC prompt via DLL hijacking and activation cache poisoning.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6769/"}
